Story Behind The Song
Yonass gave me the music to write the lyrics to, and the title Accroché. When I looked up the meaning, my dictionary said "hung". I didn't want to write a song about being hung up on someone, so I chose bondage I looked at pictures on the internet and wondered why a beautiful girl would allow herself to be photographed and treated in such a way - which I find unattractive. I believe the answer is that they want to be loved and adored, so I tried to put that across in the lyrics.
Song Description
The girl in the song is willingly being hung by her wrists. She is doing this to please her lover who leaves her in a darkened room and only comes in to abuse her. By the end of the song she is realising that things have gone too far and between her blackouts she starts to question herself and her motives.

Lyrics
Accroché
Stretch my arms out
Clasp me tight
Reaching upwards
There is no fight
As you watch me
Pain's begun
Now you leave me
Now ..... I'm hung
Pleasure in this all dark day
Sometimes I can drift away
Ribs exposed and
Belly taught
Am I doing
What you want?
When you enter
I feel your greed
And from my blackness
You can feed
Pleasure in this all dark day
Sometimes I can drift away
Sometimes I can drift away
(SOLO DRUMS)
Where am I?
Is this me?
Is this who
I want to be?
